I'm a teacher at a large North Eastern public University system - it transitioned to WebCT about a year ago. I have to say, after three semsters of use that from the staff point of view WebCT is not only the worst on-line learning system I've ever used but in fact the worst system I've ever used, well maybe a closer runner up with SAP. The interface is full of meaningless icons and buzzwords. There's no clear path to even simple tasks. It relies heavily on java and javascript, most of which fails to function on a reliable basis and almost off of which could be more efficiently and effectively dispensed. Examples are the chat system which regularly kicks off users, the "rich messaging" system whos editor is entirely non-functional, a lack of support for anything but ancient versions of Mozilla and Internet Explorer. Even some potentially great ideas, like a webDAV interface for updating files are entirely munged by WebCTs inane interface. If you have a voice in selecting an on-line learning system, PLEASE take the time to test webct thoroughly and then voice your opinion forcefully.
